“Hey Kenzie, are you ok?”, Min asked as he took a seat next to me at the picnic table. He had got back late last night from Seoul. He was away for a week on work.
“I don’t know…”
He put his arm around my waist and pulled me into his side.
“Kenzie, I’m here, we’ll handle it”, he said as I buried my face in his chest and he wrapped his arms around me.

We continued to sit at the picnic table for a while, just happy being with each other and catching up on the week’s events in our lives.
